If God really existed, just based on the descriptions of believers in this era, they would really have to kneel down in front of the ironclad.

After all, this was an era that had not yet experienced an explosion of imagination. The descriptions of the priests in this era were nothing more than the ability to resurrect from the dead, curb the plague, and grant divine power.

In the eyes of people in the feudal era, it was really great to the extreme.

But just think about the fact that shoulders cannot carry mountains, will cannot stir up the wind and clouds, and if you are not careful, you will be hung up by mortals. This kind of God and saints are simply too weak.

It is difficult for Derek to feel awe because he is so weak. After all, if a large-caliber naval gun fired a shot, it is estimated that God will really ascend to heaven.

He would rather fear the power that threw him into this world than the weak God described by the church.

At least, he did too many blasphemous things, but he is still alive and well.

In this mentality, it is conceivable that the status of the ironclad in his heart has surpassed God.

After a brief explanation to Tiona, Derek patiently dealt with the things at hand in the next few days, and then found an excuse to go straight to Degen Port.

Andrew and others hurried to greet them. No one knew what the Duke and Duchess were doing here.

Nothing happened recently.

"Duke, you are here in Port Degen. Did something happen?"

Andrew has always kept a low profile in front of outsiders and never regarded himself as the Duke's elder.

Years of experience at the bottom have made him know how miserable the fate of a villain is.

Compared with other nervous officials, he is not worried that the Duke is coming for him.

After all, even if it is corruption, it will not lead to death.

This is the confidence brought by blood.

No one believes that the Duke and Duchess will come to Port Degen for no reason. It is simply a joke.

"Nothing, we just come to stroll and see the sea by the way." Derek did not reveal his intention at all.

This statement can only deceive the lower-level officials. In fact, the senior officials all vaguely know that there seems to be an important base in the restricted sea area overseas.

Of course, no one is crazy enough to touch the taboo.

But the Duke and Duchess did not come because of Port Degen. They must have been attracted by that base.

Andrew immediately responded and took the initiative to cover for Derek: "The affairs of the principality are busy, and the Duke feels tired. I will definitely arrange a quiet place for His Excellency the Duke to rest for a while."

"Very good, if there is anything, please inform me, the two of us want to be quiet for a few days."

"Yes."

In the envious eyes of everyone, Andrew received a great privilege.

But when he turned around, the Duke and his wife boarded the warship and left Port Degen.

Those who wanted to meet the Duke and his wife would naturally be stopped by Andrew.

On the warship, Tiona suddenly felt seasick.

She had only taken some small boats inland before, and she didn't react so much at that time.

The first time she went out to sea by boat, she felt seasick.

"Derek, how long will it take us to get there?" Tiona lay there a little weakly. If it weren't for the queen's great attraction, she would have wanted to return now.

"Soon." Derek comforted, "At most one day."

In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a harsh whistle.

On the sea surface in the distance, the experimental ironclad ship had cut through the waves and appeared in front of the warship.

After the initial modification, the appearance of the ironclad ship has changed slightly.

The black paint makes it look like a monster walking out of the deep sea, which makes people look sideways.

All the gun barrels are hidden in the depths.

In front of the Duke, the ironclad ship restrained all its aggressiveness.

"Let's go, our new flagship is here."

Derek took his wife to the ironclad ship.

To be fair, the ironclad ship with a larger density was not much more stable, but Tiona's seasickness reaction disappeared all of a sudden.

Perhaps it was the iron plate under her feet that made her feel more secure.

Except for the black mist coming out of the chimney that brought some pungent smell, the entire ironclad ship was perfect.

Even the protruding rivets were full of beauty in Derek's eyes.

Standing on the deck, he never felt that the future was so within reach.

"Now... is my era."

This will be the most glorious era of monarchy, and advanced scientific productivity will bring the power to break the old era.

The explosive development of productivity can cover up many problems.

The first generation of people who have enough food will not have too many ideas.

The monarchy is deeply rooted and will not be questioned.

The monarch can absolutely implement his will, especially when he has never made any mistakes.

The people's will is the general trend.

Derek realized that his future descendants may never have such superior conditions again.

Under the premise of not seeing immortality, leaving a strong mark in history is also a thing worth striving for.

It was also at this time that he suddenly said: "The earth under our feet is round."

This is not a rigid copy of his memory of his previous life, but in his sight, a sail appeared in the distance, and then the whole sailboat.

Regardless of the different expressions of others, Derek did not explain further.

Riding on the ironclad ship, the Duke and Duchess came to the Nameless Island.

The name of the island is nameless, which is itself an unknown place outside the world.

The rumbling sound of steam engines and chimneys with black smoke are the characteristics of the Nameless Island today.

Philip had been waiting for a long time and paid the highest respect to the Duke and Duchess.

He was the Duke's slave, but his son and daughter were not.

His daughter married a new nobleman under the arrangement of the Duke and Duchess, and his son also obtained the title and continued the family bloodline.

And what he paid was loyalty, absolute loyalty.

This was worth it, and even many people dreamed of it.

The loyalty of a slave was originally worthless.

But now, he has received a reward beyond imagination, so he is willing to crawl on the ground and pay the highest respect to the Duke and Duchess.

Derek did not stop him. He was used to thinking in terms of the world's thoughts.

Stopping the other party from kneeling seems to be kind, but it lays hidden dangers.

It is precisely because of the class and the gap that this loyalty can be maintained.

What he needs is a loyal dog who guards secrets for him, not a new human with self-thinking.

After Philip completed the full set of kneeling ceremony, the Duke gave him mercy: "Get up, you have done a good job recently."

The Duke's praise is the best gift.

Philip bowed and said humbly: "It is thanks to the Duke that we have achieved these results."

This is true in a sense.
